    electric scooter/skateboard laws

    That's a great little town car, but I don't know if these drunk drivers can use it. I understood that this French car class was restricted to 4.5 kW power, but the Ami is 6 kW. So I don't know if Citroen are being canny in avoiding controversy or whether that law had changed. Citroen Ami Link .

    electric scooter/skateboard laws

    Thank you, I agree. We do have a kind of parallel here, albeit with a little less potential for harm. Many losing their licences here adopt an e-bike and as you might expect from law breakers, often dongled or otherwise converted to achieve S-Bike / Moped speeds, 45kph / 28 mph. We've had a...

    Lockdown Taxi service

    It's still the same EU law, including EN15194. In Autumn 2019 Theresa May's Great Repeal Bill was accepted by both houses of parliament, turning all accepted prior adopted EU law into UK Law, that to easily deal with the impossibility of passing new UK laws for all EU laws accepted over the...

    Are you sure that is still the case? It used to be but to drive one now needs a safety permit. I'd have expected convicted drink drivers would be excluded. .

    I'm quite sure that will have happened very soon after Trump became President since his instability was so obvious. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, there are many factors other than Boris's undoubted mistakes, some being the reason for his mistakes, one being the juxtaposition of Brexit with Covid which multiplied the infection spreading travelling going on between European countries and drained away huge numbers of our of our...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The national peak number doesn't really matter, it's travelling across the country within different areas at different rates, so your local peak could have very different timing, even by weeks rather than days, and very different penetrations. The pockets of very low incidence within heavily...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As I'd previously posted at the time the benefit was in the middle of the year following the disaster of March and April when we had well over double the national infection rate. That soon fell well under the national rate with even country areas overtaking us. But recently I posted about the...

    Hero of India did enter our market by buying A2B, but seemed to fail quite quickly. A2B's market was impeded by their e-bikes not complying with the law and Hero compounded that by being very badly run. Such things as a website with no links making it impossible to find out how to buy one of...

    Not so, the e-bike doing th controlling means it is one vehicle and not a legal one. Uniquely in British law all motorised vehicles are banned from public roads unless specifically permitted for each classified type. That permission is obtained by either type approval or an exemption under...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I buy almost everything online so only carry just two of my cards on me within my private car about once a week on a very local trip. I don't even have my cards to hand when buying online since I have my credit and debit card full numbers, dates, and CV numbers committed to memory. Showing...

    Then someone kills you after torturing the access information from you, hides the body and goes out on a multi card spending spree. The first rule of security is secrecy, and you've just broken that rule. .

    Priceless, so simple for small businesses to sort out. Good old BREXIT!

    Perhaps you need to open your mind and read the opening pages of the thread I linked to. There you will see the closed mind denial of apolitical factual information I'd posted which gave its name to to this thread. I'm very happy for others to have a different political opinion, as I've...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In addition the debts built up on the credit cards don't always have to be paid, as shown after the debt crisis of the John Major recession. Tens of thousands fled those massive debts which were then written off by all the lenders. Over £40,000 in my youngest sister's case alone. .
